Willemoes Export

Tap to rate

Round, full-bodied and malty, with a malt-driven aroma and a golden colour: Willemoes Export is a classic export-style strong pilsner. Besides water, only barley malt and hops go into it. The Willemoes name belongs to Peter Willemoes, whom the brewery has made the voice and personality of the brand.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied yet smooth-drinking, dominated by malt sweetness and breadiness that unfolds across the mid-palate without heaviness. Bitterness is restrained and well-integrated (25 IBU), serving to balance rather than dominate; the finish is dry and crisp, with a refreshing quality that invites another sip.
